Dissecting The 80s

Happy pride!

We locked ourselves into The Birdcage, one of the funniest movies of all time. How great are all these performances? How is this son SUCH a villain?

All this and more!

Sailing for adventure on the big blue wet thing!

We hit the high seas with our pals, the Muppets, for one of our favorite Muppet things: Muppet Treasure Island!

Why doesn't Tim Curry get the same level of love as Michael Caine? Does this need more Muppets? Also, we out ourselves as not loving Muppet Christmas Carol!

All this and more!

Continuing the spoof theme from our recent Patreon episode on Airplane, we re-watched an old favorite, National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1!

How great is Whoopi in this? How is this such a keystone to our goofy jokes? Wilderness girls! The Movie!

All this and more!

A bit of an odd duck from 1990: Dabney Coleman's leading turn in Short Time, the tale of a cop who thinks he's dying and needs to die on duty to earn his life insurance. 

Is this just Last Holiday? Why has this not been remade yet? Why can't this movie pick a lane?

All this and more!
